Product Information
Full details
The Fox Clothing Defend MTB Gloves are designed for mountain bike enthusiasts and trail riders who demand a balance between lightweight comfort and rugged durability. These gloves offer superior tactile control through a thin, high-strength palm and enhanced dexterity via 4-way stretch materials. While they provide excellent airflow and grip, the minimalist design may offer less impact protection than heavier-duty, armored alternatives.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for winter riding?
These gloves are designed for breathability and are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn. They do not offer significant thermal insulation.
How do I determine my size?
The Defend gloves follow standard sizing. Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point just below the knuckles to find your best fit.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, but it is recommended to wash them in a mesh laundry bag on a gentle, cold cycle to preserve the material quality.
Do these gloves have padding?
No, they prioritize tactile feedback and grip over bulky palm padding.
Will the touch-screen capability wear off?
While the material is conductive, normal wear and tear on the fingertips can eventually impact sensitivity over time.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight across the knuckles
Ensure the glove is properly centered on your hand; since the material is 4-way stretch, it may need a few rides to break in and conform to your specific hand shape.
Touch-screen sensitivity is inconsistent
Ensure the fingertips are clean and that the internal TPR knobbies aren't interfering with the touch surface; sometimes applying slightly more pressure helps the conductive material register on the screen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Fox Defend gloves are designed for a snug, performance-oriented fit. Because they utilize a stretch-cuff system, they are easy to pull on and off. For the best fit, ensure the glove is pulled fully over the knuckles before adjusting the cuff. To maintain the integrity of the Clarino palm and the stretch fabric, wash the gloves in cold water with mild detergent and allow them to air dry. Do not use high-heat dryers or bleach, as these can compromise the elasticity of the mesh and the grip of the palm material.
